In the year 2000 Limerick Corporation (now Limerick City Council) engaged the historian and researcher Sinéad McCoole as Historian in Residence at Limerick City Library. This was a year-long project to celebrate the new millennium. During the course of her year as Historian in Residence Ms. McCoole ran a series of very successful research workshops for the benefit of second level students. She also produced the book 'Researcher's Handbook - Limerick City Library Millennium Project' which gives a step-by-step guide to researching a history project with a particular focus on using library resources. This book is geared towards Irish Leaving Certificate students who are doing the Special History Topic but should prove invaluable to anyone researching a history project, whether it be at a higher educational level, writing for a local history journal or planning to write a book of local history.
